Boiled Eggs (Instant Pot)

[@rebekahweathers1641]

OMG, these eggs peel SO easily!! I’ve tried so many other “easy peel” methods; this is IT! Thank you, thank you!!

[@Antoinette922]

I tried it and they were perfect! Thank you! I tried to watch a video that was 11:09 and the KZbin spent 5 of those minutes just talking. You went right to the point and knew what you were doing. Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@IndigoNili]

Glad I could help!

[@MrWhitmire]

Oh, my gosh! My Instant Pot arrived today and this was the first thing I tried. Worked perfectly and several shells peeled off in one piece like a clam shell. Thanks so much for your great videos.

[@IndigoNili]

You're welcome! So glad I can help! :)

[@garydutko119]

Hello again Nili. I have tried your method over a dozen times and it works perfect every time. Previously I tried 15 different ways of making hard boil eggs with BROWN EGGS on the stove top--none of them ever worked for me. The boiled egg came off with the shell. But the Instant Pot and your video solved the problem. Since I have 9 chickens I get lots of eggs. So I have made hard boiled and deviled eggs for my son, my daughter, the kids next door (all 4 of them) and whoever wants them. Your video and my 8qt Instant Pot made the day. I will never make hard boiled eggs on the stove top again. Once again, many thanks for the video. I always enjoy them.

[@kevingreen9317]

I’ve tried several methods of making Instant Pot hard boiled eggs and hands down your method is the quickest and easiest. Thank you!!!! God bless your daughter too she’s adorable.

[@plankhill]

I think you have figured out something us southerners have been trying to figure out for years for fresh eggs. A lot of people may not know, but fresh eggs, and I mean the ones you went and got out of the nest fresh, will keep for a few months as long as you dont wash them. When you get ready to consume, wash them good, then do what ever. The eggs have a protective film on them from the lay. I think this might have something to do with it, dont know... but this is good stuff, cause folk been trying to figure this out for a while. Good job :-)

[@johnchrisman9973]

Hi. I made a dozen hard boiled eggs using your method and they came out perfectly. This was the first time I used my IP for eggs so I wanted to thank you very much for this video.

[@SteelyPaw]

Thanks for the tip on Hard boiled eggs. I just got my Instant Pot and I'm looking forward to cooking with it. People like you who make videos for people like me are a blessing to the electronic / social media world. I see that you are also a very pretty young mom with a very sweet baby, and I surmise one other in the back ground so congrats there. I enjoyed your clear and precise mannerism and taking the time to show us your skills. I have subscribed!!

[@ceej416]

I went to the "dark side" as my husband has said, and ordered my very first Instant Pot Pro. Received it yesterday and am now in the learning/discovery mode. Your video is excellent! Thank you for showing me how awesome it is to cook eggs in the IP. Am excited to try this. Your daughter is just the cutest! Thanks again!

[@kathy32850]

OMG...just watched your most recent video of 5-23-24 then this one popped up from 8 years ago! I have never done eggs in my instant pot before so I gave it a try. You differ in that you used the steam function. 6 minutes, QR , ice bath. They did peel off in large pieces. I HB eggs from the same carton in a pan but I had a hard time getting the peel off! Never again. Perfect!

[@emmakateodwyer345]

Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!

[@SandwichLady]

WOW! Perfectly cooked eggs using your method. Steam function for 6 mins, quick pressure release and immediate plunging into ice water! Thank you sooo much!

[@mondojamoker]

This is soooooooooooo cool! I just got an instant pot for last Christmas and I've been playing with so many ideas and I was hoping I could make boiled eggs and found your video. Adorable baby btw!

[@garyluker623]

Just tried your method and it works perfectly, Thank You. Also your daughter is so cute, I wish I take my children back 30 or so years and experience those years again!!!!!!!

[@garydutko119]

Hi Nili, Thanks fo much for your videos. I just bought an 8qt Instant Pot and watched your "testing and boiled eggs" videos. Followed them to the T and everything was perfect. After trying 15 different methods to peel brown hard boiled eggs and failing each time, I finally found a way for them to peel perfectly using the Instant Pot. I don't know why either but glad it works. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing your other videos. Thanks again. Gary, Gettysburg, PA

[@kacyhansen789]

thank you so much for this. nobody believes how amazing the eggs turn out inside but are even more impressed with how the shells fall off!!!! YAY!

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

Just made 12 eggs and they came it perfect, using your method! No gray ring and yolk cooked just right. Just noticed a little dimpling on a few, no problem. Thank you.

[@darwinstevens810]

Instant pot is amazing for those who aren't too confident in cooking. My bf has a hard time knowing what time or how to cook boiled eggs and the instant pot is a savior

[@gailjurczyk]

Nili, your instructions were clear and easy to follow! I just made my first Instant Pot hard boiled eggs and did not get a single crack! I did let them come to room temperature from the refrigerator before beginning. Thank you: you are a great teacher.

[@nealpeterson9714]

I am so happy that I found you first, quick and EASY! I listen to others and I might as well just do it on the stove top. Thank you!

[@cmeisner]

I've had my IP for a week. Made the hard boiled eggs today just like this video. Perfect. Thank you!

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

My coworker gave me her older version after I used the one I bought on Amazon. The older one has a trivet with round holes that I steamed six fresh eggs separated. Perfect!! I steamed a dozen using trivet and just stacked on each other. Perfect!!! Used the same 6 minutes for both batches. Shes in her apron steamed 25 at once. Freaking love the instant pot.

[@simonahendrix1812]

Thank you for this video! I found a bunch of written recipes and while that's great, I wanted to see it! I'm trying it right now, so we'll see how it goes!! 🤞

[@nancyv.4553]

I steam my eggs in a vegetable steamer for 15 minutes. Then put them in a bowl of cold water. The shells pretty much fall off. Perfect every time. Just bought a Insta pot so going to try this for six minutes. Thanks for showing this.

[@thibsteven1]

Thanks for the wonderful post. I just used my Instant Pot for the first time (hard boiled eggs) and I'll never go back to the stove-top again! So easy to peel and they were perfect on the inside......keep making a difference and thanks again for sharing.

[@8ballred538]

Bought mine yesterday. I had a brisket in my fridge so I cut it up sliced against the grain, seasoned & browned it on "saute". pressure cooked med for 35 minutes & it was done!! really tasty & tender! OMG for brisket thats amazing enough but I want it for dinner so I put it on low slow cook for the 4 hrs and will put BBQ sauce on it for dinner after I get the grease off it.

[@heatherjohnson635]

This was my first IP trial outside of the water test 😜 I just got the IP duo 6qt and I used 6min steam normal pressure for 9 eggs (water in the bottom) with quick release and ice bath. It worked perfectly! 😍 thanks!

[@061356]

Heather Johnson Glad you said Normal pressure. I wasn’t sure about that. Plus you added more eggs than her and I did too. I appreciate you comments

[@waterstreeter]

I just recommended this video twice for people on the IP community and it struck me how big Ren is getting! I know you can remember when all of your kids were that little but they sure don't stay little! My best friend's girls are now 19 and 21 this year already and it seems like only yesterday when they were little and had to have the special cart at the grocery store!

[@marcusmoran5718]

Just got my first instant pot, thank you for sharing! Going to make my life of hard boiling 3 dozen eggs a week a LOT easier. Also, love the LOTR reference

[@Bearsden45]

Hi...I saw your video this morning and wanted to try it. I used one of those steamer baskets and put 10 eggs in it long with a cup of water..the eggs were touching. :) I set it on steam but only put on 5 minutes wanting them to be just a little softer. After it shut off, I released the steam and put the eggs in an ice bath for a few minutes. I cracked the top and bottom on the egg and the sides (don't know if it makes a difference or not) and then peeled them...the shells almost fell off. The eggs were done perfectly and tasted awesome. That's how I'll be making them from now on. Thanks a lot for the video. Take care.

[@capnjan9835]

Nice - that is basically, the way I do steamed. Yes, they peel like a dream. I've been 'steaming them' on the stove, but may try the instant pot. But the stove is always right there waiting! Neat trick, though, I really like your videos of the Instant Pot!

[@suemarie6032]

I like that you can peel with one hand and if necessary, hold the baby with the other. lol WHAT A CUTIE! Glad she approves of the IP. Wish it was around when my kids were small. Thanks for sharing your video!

[@JustHarleyy]

Wow, thank you for this. We just recently got an Instant Pot for the first time, and haven't used it yet. I watched your Pro unboxing and initial run video, and that made me feel a little more confident in using it - yes, the steam valve seems scary, but much less so after seeing your video! Now to find out we can make awesome boiled eggs, that are easily peeled, so quickly?! That's exciting! and 3-minute soft boiled eggs!? Sign me up!!!! So, thanks again!

[@lizh1116]

Just bought an Instant Pot yesterday. Found your videos and they are fantastic! Cooking eggs in it right now!

[@IndigoNili]

Welcome to the instant pot family! 😃 Thanks for watching!

[@Shaktipaj]

Thank you so much for the video! I think someone else may have already said this, but here goes: All of our eggs come from my DIL's chickens. UBER FRESH!! Have always had issues peeling them. The kids got me an Instant Pot for Xmas. I will NEVER hard boil any other way again. It works because despite egg shells appearing 'solid', they are actually air permeable. Think about how some eggs release little streams of air bubbles when cooked with conventional methods. There is actually a bit of air in the egg. The pressure heats the air and water, turning it to steam, which forces the membrane away from the egg, and then escapes through the micro spaces. If they crack during the process, so much the better. Voila! As an experiment, I actually tried skipping the cold water bath, since this was my old 'trick' for making 'perfect' eggs. Which did work many times, but not always. Tough to predict. With the IP, the eggs still peeled like a dream, even without cooling. Yes, I got burnt, but all in the name of science, lol. Bottom line, with the IP, the eggs come out uniformly cooked and easy to peel EVERY TIME. So totally Worth it.

[@krussellgal]

I owned an egg farm at one time and I agree with your assessment of the IP performance and why the eggs peel easily. I'm excited to try the Instant Pot method! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@deskjockie4948]

HAL-LE-LU-JAH! I've tried every method I could find to make the shells on our boiled fresh yard eggs release without taking half the egg with it, and nothing worked until I tried this! Woohoo, no more losing half the egg with the peel, this method worked perfectly and gave me lovely smooth peeled eggs in just a few minutes' time. Thanks for sharing!

[@IndigoNili]

Woohoo! So glad I could help!

[@Bflo23]

Wow! My hard boiled eggs are so beautiful. Perfectly cooked and egg shells come off with ease. Great time saver.

[@cwofford123]

Whoa! I didn't know you could do that with the lid! Just got mine for Christmas 😃

[@rennesmith7300]

Thank you I saw the egg button on the pot but decided to try your method seeing as you had such good results!

[@heatherknowles3124]

I am a believer now! Perfect soft boiled my first attempt. Peeling is super easy.

[@davidtheiss7108]

I think the reason behind the easy peel is the blanching process. Essentially you are blanching the egg going from really hot to really cold. You do the same to tomatoes and peppers to remove the outer skin and to stop the cooking process.

[@KindlySo]

How sweet to catch this from 5 years ago and see sweet, darling baby Renae. I do have to get an Instant Pot!

[@markscott262]

This hack works for me most times, when your ready to peal your eggs, tap each end to crack he shell, place on a firm surface and with your hand apply a little pressure and roll the egg to crack the remaining shell, and peel, hope works for you. The first steps easily done with with one hand, try peeling under a stream of running cold water, sometimes the action of the water behind the shell or membrane makes the job much easier.

[@laurabentley9089]

Nili you've given me confidence now in using my new IP. I love it.. I made sauteed mushrooms, onions and garlic with pork chops and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I'm a huge fan now!

[@loric1909]

I just tried your method, my first time with eggs in the IP and I'm here to say it works! I had just boiled eggs the other day and got so frustrated trying to peel them (the brown shell ones) I was about to quit ever trying again. I was sad because its such a quick and healthy food. This video popped up and I watched out of boredom but I tried it with 7 eggs on the rack, set it for 5 min Steam button on high pressure and I totally forgot to put the seal in the lid so steam was coming out for probably 5 minutes before I realized. I put the seal in and set it for 2 minutes not knowing if they were already cooking. They turned out perfect! The yolks were just cooked through, not under or overdone. Thank you!

[@CassandraRidenhour]

Your baby is adorable and I really appreciate your videos! I just got an Instant Pot for my birthday and already feel like a pro - thanks!

[@elsiedeleon4484]

Great video! am making the eggs right now! My family and I are trying to eat less processed and more healthier cooked at home. Since I struggle with lupus, sometimes cooking is not on my agenda. However I have discovered that using the Insta Pot takes so much of the work out of cooking, that I used it alot. We make Spanish rice, beef soup, steamed veggies, even rice pudding!

[@IndigoNili]

One of my favorite things about the Instant Pot is that it makes it so easy to eat real unprocessed food. So glad to hear it's helping you so much! ❤️

[@estellestone5322]

YUM! Wow, I can't believe how easy and wonderful they come out!! Thanks again for sharing. You are very giving to do these video's for us.

[@myvirgokitchen9869]

Just made the eggs following your instructions to the letter. My yolks were a tad below hard boiled in the very center. It’s like the step right before hard boiled. Center is firm but much darker than outer areas of the yolk, but not nearly runny. I’ll try 7 minutes next time. I’m using Instant Pot Duo Plus.

[@SerenityGrace71]

Just got my first Instant Pot today, and if I wasn't excited to use it before this video, I am definitely excited now. *laughs* I've used Vinegar in my pan to help with pealing, and at least one, minimum, doesn't peel right. It's rather frustrating. Now I gotta go boil eggs. *laughs and smiles*

[@samir.modesto_ca]

Thank you so much for the video. I tried this and it turned out ABSOLUTELY fantastic! And as you rightly said it is super easy to peel the eggs! Thank you so much for this awesome video!!!!

[@jeanlloyd7411]

Your instant pot videos are my favorite ones. You do such a great job! And it looks like you're a great mom too. Thanks for the egg video, I will be trying it later today.

[@IndigoNili]

+Jean Lloyd Thanks so much! ❤️

[@reefguy219]

Thanks for the video. I tried this out with my new Instant Pot, adn they came out PERFECTO!! I've always struggled with boiling eggs, and peeling is the hardest part.

[@IndigoNili]

You're welcome! Peeling eggs cooked in my IP always brings me such joy! lol!

[@paulh712]

I received an Instant Pot for Christmas. Made 2 HB eggs this morning. They came out perfect.

Just went out yesterday and bought an 8 qt....I have a 6 qt...but found it a bit small for the racks of ribs that I cook,..so "{bigger is better")....8 Boiled eggs is the first menu for this 8 big boy, as was for my 6...Thanx for the video, and you are right, never old time pot, water, stove top method again....."KEEP ON COOKIN"...GOOD LOOKIN''...........ADAM SMITH ONTARIO, CANADA..

[@davidtheiss7108]

Worked perfect for me. As far as releasing the steam goes, I always get a bit nervous releasing it because that steam can really mess you up if you're not careful... so I fold a kitchen towel and place it over the vent hole when releasing the steam. It saves my cabinets as well.

[@netcub70]

Blocking the steam vent with a rag is more dangerous than just opening the valve. Read your manuals, people.

[@cristrivera]

I followed your instructions and they came out perfect, Thanks for the video👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯

[@freddyncassiefinley5319]

I finally got an Instant Pot yesterday!!! And I want to thank you for the water test video as well as this one!!! I feel they both have introduced me to the IP and I'm not so nervous now. I'm floored at how easy the eggs were and how yellow my yolks were. (I guess I use to boil them too long on the stove, because I'd walk away and forget about them.) Keep bringing more THM IP recipes, please!!!! I'm wanting to try your oatmeal recipe tomorrow. -Cassie from Kentucky

[@septemberblueuk]

Got a instant pot over the weekend, this was thing first thing I cooked. They were yummy. It was great not having to worry about the pan going dry. Thank you for the vid. 👍

[@caroldison5576]

I did this on my rice cooker and it came out perfect thanks for sharing it.

[@yorkiebages]

This is the best method - tried the 5/5/5 on pressure and all the eggs cracked :'( ... steam for 6 and then quick release is perfect, thank you

[@oLunatiko]

Great vivid, thank you for sharing. The reason why they peel easier is because you are dumping them in ice water. The membrane sticks on to the shell because of the change in temperature. The insta pot helps in reaching a hotter temperature faster. All of this factors in. :)

[@lcastillo83]

This was the first thing I tried with my brand new Instant Pot and they turned out PERFECT. Thank you!

[@IndigoNili]

I'm so glad! Eggs in the IP was a game changer for me! :)

[@randyclere2330]

[@sullivancalgary]

Nice video. I was sitting on the fence about getting an instant pot. But your video on the hard boiled eggs you convinced me.

[@thompsonjaz]

Thank you for this video. I made these this morning and after I tasted one, I was so surprised by how delicious it was! Then I realized I'd been burning my hard boiled eggs for years now. Not anymore.

[@journey3337]

[@Chilly994]

🔥👍WOW!! I EAT 12-15 hard boiled egg whites a day for protein and I threw out the yolk and peeling them sometimes it's hit-and-miss this looks like my salvation, I'm going to buy one of these pots tomorrow

[@sumfingtosay]

Wow thanks so much for sharing. Ive been considering a multicooker in Australia and this has me sold! 🌹

[@mneff69]

I couldn't remember how to do eggs so I rewatched. I couldn't believe Renae was a baby when you did video. I can't believe it has been that many years ago since I been watching your channel. 👍❤✌🇺🇸🙏

[@IndigoNili]

Time flies!

[@briancormier6054]

I do 3 minutes on high pressure, 3 minutes natural release (then release pressure), then 3 minutes in ice water. They come out perfectly hard boiled.

[@bonnievandyke8301]

That skin between the shell and the egg is super nutritious, pure collagen and other good stuff. Great to put the shells and skin in bone broth 🌟

[@Innomen]

Can confirm process is perfect in 3qt duo. Steam setting, trivet, pretty much any amount of water, 6 minutes, quick release, cold dunk. Flawless eggs.

[@emoltzan]

Low or high pressure?

[@donaldwycoff4154]

Your method works perfectly just as you described. Looks like I have the same model of Instant Pot, so even button locations and sounds were identical. That's great! Many thanks! Incidentally, I used a full dozen eggs with a cup of water, stacked them on the cradle, most were touching. No problem: pefect eggs that rolled out of their shells during peeling.

[@judidunham5037]

They say you can do up to 18 eggs at once. Not sure if that’s in the 8qt Instant Pot or the 6qt. I bought an egg stacker for mine that hold 14 eggs.

[@qn215]

Great video. The science to the egg shell peeling easily is cooking the outer membrane in high heat quickly stove or instapot.

[@sass2964]

I was throwing some eggs in to make egg salad. I listened to this while I did things around the kitchen, was really helpful!

[@opinionator3884]

This worked well, peeling was amazingly easy. The yolk was slightly less cooked than I am used to but tasted great. I am curious - am I the only one that got smelly eggs?

[@ginnyk50]

Tried it, no eggs exploded and all the peels came off in one piece. The yolks seem to be more tender. I thought it would be more trouble than on the stove but really as long as you have the pot handy, it's easier than setting the timer and waiting for eggs to boil on the stove. Thanks!

[@Kennych100]

Wow!! That is incredible. Thanks for the posting of down-home cooking. Don't think I will boil eggs in hot water again, as well.

[@roryzhuang67]

I think the science is molecule dynamic. Pressure cooker has a higher boiling point than a stove pan. In higher temperature, molecules run faster and there are more space between them. So that the membrane between egg white and shell is pushed toward to the shell (The shell also gets push too, so it cracks sometimes). After cooking, eggs are put into ice water. Suddenly the molecules' movement of egg white slow down and the egg starts to shrink. However, the membrane is still attached to the shell which makes it easier to peel.

[@IndigoNili]

+Rory Zhuang Genius! Thank you so much for the explanation!

[@philcriswell3540]

I don't think it has anything to do with the pressure though, just the higher temperature (as a result from the pressure). I have an old "egg cooker" that you put a tiny bit of water in, prick the eggs, then set them end up in a rack, and cover with a lid. The eggs steam instead of boil, and and are easy to peel every time, even eggs that were laid that day by our chickens. I have a feeling it is the higher temperature achieved through pressure cooking or in my case steaming, that makes them easier to peel.

[@myrabernard2820]

wharever the reason..I love boiling eggs in my instant pot...thanks for your explanation

[@iffatsiddiqui1926]

Rory Zhuang , I agree with nun yabidness from the message above. Even before instant pot usage, I used to place the boiled eggs in cold water right after taking away from the stove. They peeled very well. Just like another favourite tip I got from a friend (this one is as a bonus for you guys, 🙂). After I cook rice and it's steamed enough, I sprinkle some cold water from the tap onto it. I run a spatula through it and cover it, keeping it away from the stove now. This stops further cooking, and the grains don't form lumps at all. Additionally, no rice gets stuck to the bottom of my pot, even if it seemed so just off the stovetop.

I’ve been wanting to try this and the airfryer method- very cool!!!

[@cfunk3085]

Thank you for this video. I’ve come back to it a couple times to make sure I was doing it right. My hard boiled eggs never turned out until now!! 🤗 I also wanted to share that my 12 year old wanted to help me peel them. He peeled one in only two pieces and was able to put the egg shell back together to look whole. It was pretty cool 😄 Chrissy

[@blevinsmusic]

Thank you ! I make tons of stuff in my Instant Pot (and have at least a dozen videos on youtube about Instant Pot) but have used a little egg machine for years for the hard cooked eggs we eat every day. Now my current egg machine is on the fritz so I figure....why spend $35 to replace it! I'll certainly try Instant Pot first!

[@negritorican]

Just saw your video after watching about 3 different ones. All a little different but end result is still the same. I put mine for 4 minutes cause I like them a little wet inside. It came out perfect. Thanks for the video!

Love the pip squeak in the jumper!!

[@threedeadflies]

I don't have an IP type pressure cooker. All of my 12 pressure cookers are the stovetop type. But I wanted to try this method of hard boiling eggs for potato salad. I watched and listened to your video this morning and then I went and copied it using my 8 quart Fagor Duo. I put about 1.5 cups of water in the pot. I put the basket in the pot and started the heat. As the pot heated up, I placed 10 eggs into the basket. They fit with plenty of space between them. I put the lid on and set the pressure valve to HIGH. After a short time, my pressure came up and I started the timer. I used 6 minutes just as you demonstrated in your video. When the time was up, I let the pressure come down by opening the valve. I was afraid if I let the pressure come down naturally, the eggs would be petrified wood when I rescued them from the heat. I followed your instructions and put all 10 eggs into an ice bath. I went on cooking other things on the stove while the eggs sat in the ice bath. After about 6 or 7 minutes had passed, I took one out of the bath and it was cooled off with only a remnant of heat still coming through. I was pretty excited about peeling one of the eggs. I was hoping they would peel as nicely as yours did in the video. I just peeled one of these eggs -- just now -- just before sitting back down to finish typing this comment. And the egg peeled exactly as you demonstrated! The shell peeled cleanly from the flesh of the egg. And the yolk was just cooked, not cooked into oblivion like most other methods I've tried! Well done! Your instructional video was accurate and when followed, I can attest to the fact that it works and works very well! Thank you for the video. I will use this method hence forth with confidence that it will work as I want and expect.

[@IndigoNili]

Great to know that this works on the stovetop as well!

[@threedeadflies]

@@IndigoNili And we're 2 days after hard boiling (pressure cooking, actually) our 10 eggs and they're still peeling ridiculously easy! That alone makes it worth doing your hard boiled eggs this way. Thanks again! Great tip and great method.

[@AuntDuddie]

I love this video! My old pressure cooker died on me and I was waffling between the Instant Pot and that great big Power Pressure Cooker. You helped me make up my mind. Thanks! I enjoy your videos and your baby is adorable. :)

[@thelegomadscientist]

I just got my first Instant Pot Pressure Cooker 8 Qt. My old one was a Power Pressure Cooker which I have problems using it in certain recipes and the Customer Service/Technical Support was not very helpful. The quality of the IP is definitely more superior than the Power Pressure Cooker. Thank you Nili for your time and sharing all the recipes and info on the IP. Hugs xx to your kids.

[@Pack.Leader]

I'm going to do my HBE's like this from now on! I hate how hard eggs are to peal so often. I'll have to try the soft "steamed" method you mentioned, too. (3 minutes vs 6.)

[@islaadele1212]

Awesome, thank you so much for that. Peeling eggs is usually a nightmare for me. Gonna try this today.

[@tanalee229]

I never learned how to cook, but members in my FB group have the Instant Pot and rave about it. I bought one last night (1/6/2018), and cooked my first eggs this morning. They were quite edible, but I used 2 cups of water. Set the pressure to More (because I thought you had...wrong). Steamed for 6 minutes. Put them in ice cold water for a minute or two. ... They weren't boiled hard. They landed somewhere in the middle of medium to hard.... My stomach didn't know the difference, though. : )

With eggs it seems that people need to find a time that works best for their specific pot and their location (elevation, etc. effects pressure cooking) Since your eggs weren't quite hard just add a minute next time and I bet they'll be perfect. :) Then you'll have your perfect egg recipe!

I'm in Hawaii, within walking distance of Pearl Harbor. I don't think I have any elevation issues. : ) I forgot to mention that I really appreciated this video. It was a HUGE help. (I honestly never learned to cook.) Thank you so much.

Love the video. Can you recommend a good recipe for deviled eggs?

Dont know if you put stove boiled eggs in an ice bath but supposedly this makes them easy to peel. Will be trying this in the near future. Thx for the video
